Flying Wanderers - Again - Keep Fighter Jets Busy over Bedminster

BEDMINSTER, NEW JERSEY, AUG 3 – NORAD scrambled jets and used flares to escort a civilian plane from restricted airspace over Trump’s golf club, marking the fifth unauthorized weekend incursion, officials said.

  • On August 3, 2025, NORAD fighter jets were dispatched to intercept a civilian plane that had flown into a designated no-fly area established over President Trump's golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
  • The interception occurred because the pilot violated FAA-issued temporary flight restrictions established while Trump was at the club and planned to return to the White House that evening.
  • NORAD deployed fighter jets that used flares to get the pilot’s attention, and the civilian aircraft was then guided safely away from the restricted zone around 12:50 p.m. Eastern time.
  • Over the weekend, NORAD recorded five instances of aircraft entering restricted airspace near Bedminster and emphasized that pilots must always comply with FAA regulations, no matter the location, type of aircraft, or crew involved.
  • This interception highlights increased TFR violations since Trump's second term began and led NORAD to urge all pilots to review FAA NOTAMs before every flight, especially near restricted zones.
